Sarah Hyland bravely opens up about post kidney surgery hair loss

Sarah Hyland is no stranger to talking about her health issues and ailments - in fact, quite the opposite. Remember when she clapped back at trolls who commented on her weight loss back in 2017, explaining that it was due to complications with her health?

The Modern Family actress received a kidney transplant from her father in 2012, after being diagnosed with dysplasia, where the organs don't develop properly. She's previously spoke out about the many side effects of prednisone, an immunosuppressant steroid to prevent organ rejection and infections. Recently, she took to Instagram Stories once more to ask her followers for help following another side effect - hair loss.

"Some of my medications have been making my hair fall out...Some supplements like Viviscal and Nutrafol, I’ve talked to my pharmacist and I’m not allowed to take them because they interact with those medications."

“So for those on prednisone and Prograf and Myfortic and any immune-suppressing medications, have you found anything other than just biotin that works?”

Thankfully, her followers came to the rescue, recommending a variety of treatments including castor oil, coconut oil, avocado mix and Vitamin E.
